I completed the diving program involved with the organization, the diving program was amazing you receive your B1 after one week, see the reef and pick up trash on the seabed was a really enriching experience. Lunch was great, I did need more fruit than provided but grocery stores are close by . Fun Spanish classes, workshops, dancing, climbing and group projects were all on. Apartment is amazing location. I had issues with lost luggage and cancelled flight and the staff were amazing at helping me sort this out. This is a great experience to incorporate diving and NGO work, highly recommend!!

Being part of the organization was definitely one of the highlights of my first experience in Spain. All the people I met, from the host, the international volunteers and the locals, where just the kindest people you could imagine! I'd highly recommend this experience to anyone that really wants to learn about the local culture and community in Barcelona!

The organization is great if you want to experience an international community and NGO contributing to multiple different projects. I really enjoyed working in the permaculture garden, the foodbank and handing out food to homeless people. The other volunteers make it an awesome experience! You do have to be open to change, as the schedule can change at any moment and a lot was different than communicated. For example, you only get cooked lunches and for the other meals you can take what you want from the foodbank to cook for yourself.

I enjoyed my time at the organization, however it has some issues. While the organization has great intentions and I loved all of the activities, the structure is a bit shaky. The communication was often unclear and I was frustrated with the lack of direction at times, but it did offer an opportunity to just fill a role where I thought I could be helpful. The people were all amazing, the food was good, and accommodation was nice but too many people where there wasn't supposed to be. Also, having a background in Spanish will help to fully engage in the experiences.

Hi Jessie,
Many thanks for your feedback, it's always helpful to improve ourselves. Thanks also for your commitment during your stay with us.
We are mindful that sometimes humanitarian projects with international volunteers can be shaky since we have to daily face unexpected situations with very low resources.
Thanks to your comment, we remain humble and keep giving our best to support families the NGO is attending.

Perfect first volunteering experience. From the very first day I felt welcome and encouraged to become a member of the organization family. It was a great stay that taught me a lot about community life and proactivity, I felt I was given an opportunity to make real impact on the locals and the neighborhood. At the same time I felt I had more than enough time for myself, exploring and enjoying Barcelona, making contacts, deep connections and friendships that will last. Couldn't recommend it more.
